WORLD PRESS PHOTOS

>Fang Qianhua, China, Nangfang Dushi Daily/Southern Metropolis Daily.

I actually like this photograph because it is simple and yet there is an element of quirkiness to it. The asymmetrical shape of the leaf is what makes it interesting. At first when i saw the thumbnail, i thought it was the profile of a cockatoo. The hole on the leaf was perceived to be its eye. Although it is just a simple subject, i feel that the photographer has turned it into a very interesting photo.

This photo is very well composed. The photographer has captured the essence of the sport itself - a sense of adrenalin rush and peril. This would be a very difficult photograph to capture because the skier is going on a very fast speed as the avalanche is catching up with him. The lines made by the avalanche makes the photograph interesting as well. A well taken photograph.

This is a very interesting photo as there is an interplay between shapes and lines. The buildings at the sides give a feeling of rigidity and yet the lighted roads give a fluidity to the photo. A good contrast is captured in this photo.

When i saw this picture the first thing that i wondered was whether the photographer is still alive. This picture is really well composed with the harmony of colours and the flow of the picture well captured. The intensity in the tiger's face makes this photograph memorable.
